Former Springwatch presenter Kate Humble thinks women who undergo makeover transformations can end up turning themselves into images of sex dolls

Shes known for her unassuming, down-to-earth manner and natural beauty.

So its probably best not to ask former Springwatch presenter Kate Humble to undergo an image transformation – because she thinks women who do can end up turning themselves into images of sex dolls.

The 55-year-old, who has a 117-acre farm in the Wye Valley, Herefordshire, says one of the worst things anyones ever said to me was when a glossy magazine offered her a full makeover.

Ms Humble told The Times: I was meant to be thrilled, to say, Gosh, Id love to have my eyebrows tweaked within an inch of my life!

Bad luck. If you want me on your cover, youll get me as I am. Why are all these women turning themselves into images of sex dolls now?

Kate Humble presented Springwatch until 2012, with series seven of the popular programme being her last

Kate Humble fronted Springwatch alongside Bill Oddie for the entirety of his run on the show and was  accompanied by Chris Packham once he left.

She continued presenting the show until 2012, with series seven of the popular programme being her last due to other work commitments and projects taking up her time.

Her career - and love life - kickstarted when she got her first job in television as a runner and met producer and director Ludo Graham, who she married in 1992.

Kate adored travel, wildlife, and science and got her first job at the BBC as a researcher on Animal Hospital, followed by The Holiday Programme, and Animal Park.

She went on to specialise in wildlife programmes, becoming a familiar face for the nation with her appearances on Springwatch and Autumnwatch.

When she left the show in 2012, she went on to present a variety of other travel and science shows, such as Wild In Africa, Seawatch, Rough Science, and The Hottest Place On Earth, A Country Life For Half the Price, and more

In 2017 she fronted the BBC Two documentary Extreme Wives With Kate Humble, and in 2018 she went on to become the president of Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.
